You know what is better than videogames? Cheap videogames. We have an expensive hobby and it helps to be able to save a few bucks here and there. And each week, retailers vie for our attention with assorted offers of reduced prices and freebies to snag our gaming dollar.

Enter Discountoid. Every week, I'll be compiling the various promotions offered by major US chains in their ad circulars and giving you the skinny on how you can save a bit of cash. Don't see your preferred outlet? Tell me and I'll look into getting it added to the list.

This week, Toys "R" Us is having a birthday bash for its mascot, resulting in a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion. Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 are seeing a significant price drop across the board. And Fry's Electronics must have a lot of Prey sitting in their warehouses, as they've tossed it into a 360 bundle.
